His wife Depoury (Udepuri Mahal) invited him one day to her apartments, where she wished to treat him to a ragout she had herself prepared. To gratify her the king consented. But as a servant-girl was bringing in the stew, she let the dish drop and broke it. The queen was very dejected at this accident, the more so that she saw herself deprived of the pleasure of offering to her husband a dish that she had prepared with so much trouble. Thus her impulse was to punish the servant-girl at once, but the king interfered, and resorted to every device to appease her wrath, in no way sparing soft and conciliatory words, as is his habit. He reminded her that it was God's good Providence that had thus ordained ; it was (he added) a manifestation that a sinner, such as he, was not worthy to eat of so delicate a plat. He added other words, which in the end cooled the wrath of the queen. - [Previous: 281.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3.2) - [Next: 281.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3.4) - [Up: 281.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3.3) · Pramāṇa
